A bit late on the subject, but here are my thoughts on abortion.
Aside from things that have been already said, maybe, an unborn baby, or a fetus, is just tissue and not much else in a woman's body. It is not fully developed in terms of full organs or even a brain, so without a full brain, so without a full brain, how are they capable of living like a person already having been born? That said, I don't think they can feel pain (even if they can get damaged), aborting a fetus is only just like cutting an arm or leg off, or even pulling skin tissue off one's body. It is not really the same as an actual baby or adult getting killed. Also, while actual babies and fetuses still develop, they are still different, so if aborted, they would not even die like born babies or adults die. They just stop developing. The fetus, until birth, is just a part of a woman's body, and it is not the body of the fetus, but the woman's. Like I said, a fetus getting aborted is just the same as a piece of skin getting ripped off of one's body in the end. With that, that is not even counting miscarriages, which are common in life, apparently. If miscarriages can happen, why not abortions? Anyway, since the fetus is connected to the woman with the umbilical cord, and needs it to survive compared to not needing it when born, I'd say, among the other reasons I have said, the fetus can't be given the rights of a fully adult person, or even be given full child's rights, since they can't even do anything while in the womb. They are also not alive in the sense a baby or even a child is alive as well. A fetus is a developing entity with the potential to become an actual baby, but the thing is...it is not one yet, it has not fulfilled that potential. So it is basically not qualified to be a baby. Without fully developed organs and without a fully developed brain, it is not alive in the sense of an actual baby or adult, no matter how much life it may appear to have.
That all said, I do not think the right to live should be given to a fetus, but to be decided by the mother. Giving the fetus that is not born yet, giving a fetus that right would be like giving it the rights of an adult. Technically, a baby; when born; is not given the rights of an 18 or 21 year old adult right away, so why should giving a fetus rights instead of the mother the right to abort be any different from a baby not having adult rights right away?
